Ingredients

1 cup 2% cottage cheese I love Good Culture brand
2 eggs
2 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp garlic powder

Instructions

Preheat oven to 350. Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper (no need to spray with oil - do NOT use foil for this or it will stick!)
Combine all of the ingredients in a high-speed blender and blend on high for 1 minute until very smooth.
Pour the mixture onto the baking sheet and use a spatula to spread it out very thing into a square shape. Bake for 30-35 minutes until the top is browned (it will puff up and then deflate as it cools).
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely. Slice into 2 portions.
Add your favorite toppings / fillings: I like to use Applegate smoked turkey, lettuce, tomato, mayo and pesto!

Notes

This gluten-free recipe makes the perfect base for pizza. Just add tomato sauce, mozzarella cheese, and some sliced red onion for a quick, high-protein meal.
To get the best results, make sure your batter is completely blended with no visible curds.
Spread it thin! The thinner the batter, the crispier the edges will be. If you prefer a softer, more traditional flatbread texture, spread it slightly thicker.
Let it cool before handling. This allows the flat bread to set and makes it easier to slice without breaking.
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Wrap individual pieces in plastic wrap, then place them in a freezer-safe bag. Freeze for up to 3 months.
Warm in a toaster oven, skillet, or microwave for a few seconds until soft.
